Easy Christmas Cake Pops Recipe
1 box vanilla cake mix, I used Betty Crocker
1/3 cup vanilla icing, I used Betty Crocker
1/2 bag white candy melts, 12 oz
1/2 bag red candy melts, 12 oz
Festive sprinkles
Start by preparing your cake batter by
package directions. Beat cake mix, water,
vegetable oil, and eggs in a large mixing
bowl.
Pour the batter into a greased 9×9-inch
baking dish or two 8×8-inch round cake
dishes and bake in a 350 degree F oven until
a toothpick inserted into the center comes out
clean.
Let the cake cool completely, then crumble it
with a fork in a large bowl or in the baking dish.
Stir the frosting into the crumbled cake, cover
with plastic wrap, and freeze until chilled.
Use a cookie scoop and your hands to roll the
mixture into evenly sized small balls and place
on large baking sheet. You want to try make
them all a consistent size – aim for the size of a
ping pong ball.
Freeze again until balls are hard.
It’s easier to roll the cake & frosting mixture
into perfectly round balls if it’s cold. The cake
& frosting mixture is super moist, and at room
temperature it makes it extremely difficult to
shape them perfectly.
Once they have been frozen, I give them
another little roll to smooth out the sides. Then
place on a cookie sheet.
Melt candy melts in the microwave or in a
double boiler. Dip lollipop sticks into the
melted chocolate, then stick into one of the
frozen cake balls.
Do this with all of them and put back in freezer
till they are solidified.
Gently dip balls into the melted chocolate or
spoon the chocolate onto balls and twirl to
coat, letting the excess chocolate drizzle off
onto parchment paper. Decorate with festive
coloured sprinkles.
Place them upright in a styrofoam block, or a
cardboard box to harden. There you have it,
you have easy bite-sized treats!
